Stephen Miller says what. My last name is German - no German roots in our family - and many non-Jews share it. My uncle (a historian) claimed Russian empire “othered” Jews by giving them German job names (Ashkenazi Jews got last names late; mine = brewer) but Yiddish (German-based) may also explain.

This was the line that made me do a double take. Like, my dude (though you are in no way actually "my dude"), this is a choice you guys made because improvements to humanity that don't involve investors like yourself becoming richer than God are anathema to your worldview.

“Oh I don’t like Cuomo. I was bribing him. With money, for favors. So I can keep making enough money to pay bribes. Does that make sense?”

The last time a DSA-backed upstart overthrew an establishment Democrat in a NY mayoral primary, what happened next wasn't pretty. India Walton has some hard-won advice for Zohran Mamdani about what to expect, and how to handle it: hellgatenyc.com/india-walton...

Sam Vecenie on new Wolf Joan Beringer: "This is like the easiest pick in the world. Beringer is a real developmental player. He is an incredible athlete. Moves like a wing. Moves at a level that no other big in this class really achieves."

The Timberwolves drafting Joan Beringer is more than fine with me, though his name is a little too close to that of former Twins reliever, Juan Berenguer, who came in & shit the bed against the St. Louis Cardinals in game 3 of the 1987 World Series

As I have been saying repeatedly, the Democratic Party could win in landslides if they started to embrace left wing populism. Left wing populism identifies an enemy (the ultra wealthy), paints an affirmative political vision, & is where all the youthful energy is. That's why Zohran won

these lunatics have a vice grip on the majority of states, a trifecta in the feds, are rewriting every norm and every law to cater to their every whim and caprice, invaded los angeles and yet... yET. they're filling their diaps over a dem primary for NYC mayor, a place they despise anyway

Good! i hope he does. 4 way race vs. Cuomo/Adams/Sliwa is the best thing Zohran could ask for
